"Ah... this matter probably started when Kaido came to Wano 23 years ago. It is a long story."
"That's right, that's right. It's really an unbearable time to look back."
As soon as this was mentioned, the cat and the dog became energetic, and they immediately took a big sip of wine and prepared to chatter about it.
"...?"
Kazan's face paled. He hated listening to long historical stories. Only that girl Robin could bear to listen to them.
However, before Inuarashi and Neko Viper started talking, Kazan's savior arrived.
Of course, you can also call it...an uninvited guest.
"Wait a minute, although I am very interested in the story you are telling me, but it seems that a big shot has arrived~"
Kazan put down the bones and flesh in his hands and raised his eyes to look at the man floating in the air with his arms folded and bowed his head under the night sky.
"Um?"
"Kazan, there are really not many people in this sea who are qualified to be called a big shot in front of my old cat. I would like to see who the big shot you are talking about is?"
Inuarashi raised his eyebrows after hearing what Kazan said, and turned his head to look at the sky following Kazan's gaze with a serious expression.
Cat Viper, on the other hand, had a look of disdain on his face, and even breathed a little lazily and looked at the sky with squinted eyes.
"Hoo~ Isn't this the little kitten on Roger's ship back then? Now he dares to speak arrogantly in front of me?"
The visitor lowered his head and floated in the air, looking down at the cat Viper among the three people beside the campfire.
"Are you...still alive?!"
"'Golden Lion' Shi Ji..."
Inuarashi and Neko Viper looked at the man with long golden hair in the sky, a rudder on his head, and two swords as his calves.
At this moment, there was a slight cold sweat on their foreheads, and there was unconcealable shock in their eyes.
"Your boy is 'Red Tong'? Not bad, he looks a bit strong. Judging from your appearance, it seems that you have never heard of my name?"
Shiji was floating in the air and had little interest in the cats and dogs on Roger's boat. Instead, he looked at Kazan who had been quietly eating barbecue next to them and turned a blind eye to him.
Kazan's performance was so calm that Shiji thought that Kazan had never heard of his name. After all, he had disappeared on this sea for more than ten years.
Shi Ji is confident that no one can remain so calm when seeing him in person, even if they know him.
There is only one person left in this world who can still keep a calm face when seeing him.
Edward Newgate.
"I've heard of it."
Kazan responded, and then continued to put his eyes on the barbecue in his hand.
"Eh~ Since you've heard and seen that I can be so calm, should I say you have a good attitude, or are you overconfident?"
Shiji gradually fell from the sky to the ground and walked towards Kazan.
"Lord Chitong, run quickly, this guy is very dangerous."
"Well, Kazan, although we know that you are very strong, but the man in front of you was able to compete with Roger the Pirate King and the World's Strongest Whitebeard, so you should leave with your companions first."
Neko Viper and Inu Arashi suddenly felt like they were facing a powerful enemy, and took out their own weapons to protect Kazan behind them.
Kazan raised his eyes, did not move, and sat quietly on the spot, indifferent to anything else.
"Kittens and puppies, you'd better get out of the way. I'm here to find that guy. If I interfere, I'll kill you."
Shiki pointed to Kazan behind Neko Viper and Inuarashi.
At the same time, the surrounding ground suddenly rolled, and huge lion heads made of sand and dust rose from the ground.
"Fur people will never abandon any of their friends."
"Kill me? Hehe, if you can do it, try it."
Inuarashi was still calm, but Neko Viper couldn't calm down anymore, and with a violent temper, he rushed forward directly.
"Ha...not overestimating one's abilities."
Shi Ji did not make any extra moves, he just raised one leg, and a powerful sword energy was immediately released from the knife under his feet.
Cat Viper raised the trident in his hand to parry, but was unable to resist and flew backwards, hitting a big tree.
Fortunately, it was nothing serious and I stood up quickly.
"Inuarashi, Neko Viper, calm down. They are just cripples left over from the last era. They are no longer as strong as they were back then."
Kazan waved his hand, and the translucent blood-red overlord-colored domineering force rolled up to the surrounding areas, raising layers of ground.
However, the huge lion heads that were the main targets collapsed directly into puddles of flattened soil under the pressure of Kazan's domineering domineering force.
"Not bad, little red-eyed kid! I'm impressed by you. You can destroy my 'Lion Power Earth Scroll' with your overlord color. You are the fourth in this world. The first three are all in this world."
Overlord above, you are proud of yourself."
After personally experiencing Kazan's domineering power, the admiration in Shiji's eyes reached its peak.
Everyone's overlord color and domineering energy has its own characteristics, and there are always some people's overlord color and domineering energy that are more unique, powerful and different from others.
As a man who has come from the old times to the present, Shi Ji has experienced hundreds, if not thousands, of domineering domineering figures, and among them, there are only a few people who can make him treat them differently.
"Let me guess, who are the other three... Rocks, Roger, Newgate, right?"
Kazan grinned, put down the bones in his hand after eating the meat, and raised his hand to wipe the oil on his fingers on the soft down of the viper, who had come back.
"Hey! Kazan! You bastard! You#*&￥..."
Cat Viper was so angry that his eyes almost popped out of his head. If Inuarashi hadn't stopped him from the side, he would have gone up to fight Kazan regardless of Shiji.
"That's right, these are the three of you. Your domineering aura is enough to compare with the three of them. If nothing else happens, you will also be one of the overlords on this sea in the future."
"Thanks for the compliment."
"Hey, do you want to do something more interesting with me?"
"Talk about it."
"Like, world domination?"
"...Not interested."
This person's mind is no longer normal.
Kazan glanced at Shiji, looked at the bloodshot eyes, and shook his head.
"What is your goal? Pirate King?"
"The strongest in the world, One Piece is just a node on this goal."
"Huh? 'The Strongest in the World'? Is your target the guy from Newgate? He's ambitious, but a little boring."
Shiji shook his head after listening to Kazan's words: "Originally, I planned to save for a few more years, but if you join me, I can start to rule this sea immediately. The two of us join forces! No one in the whole sea is
Our opponent!"
"Now, no one in this sea is my opponent."
Kazan raised his ghost hand and grabbed it towards the moon. He studied under the moonlight and took a look. The blood vessels on it were squirming.
"Hahahahaha! You are even more arrogant than we were back then! Having confidence is a good thing. I really like you more and more, but... being overconfident is not."
Shiji raised a hand to cover his face and laughed wildly for a few times, then raised a leg high and struck Kazan.
Kazan lightly grabbed Dark Moon with one hand and lifted it upward.
Keng!
Powerful Qi Lan burst out from the point of contact between the two knives and swept in all directions. Inu Lan and Neko Viper, who were closer to each other, managed to hold on for a few seconds but were quickly thrown away.
"How powerful this is."
"Kazan can actually block the golden lion?!"
Inuarashi and Cat Viper, who rolled on the ground for a few times and stood up again, raised their heads and looked at Kazan and Shiji who were about the same level. They were both very shocked.
Their impression of Shiji's combat prowess was still that of Roger's era more than ten years ago.
At that time, Shiji was well-deserved to be the world's top fighting force, comparable to Roger and Whitebeard in their youth.
It's just that... Shiji, who lost his two calves and had a rudder stuck on his head, is no longer the same person he once was.
Now he is just an ordinary emperor-level powerhouse.
In the eyes of Inuarashi and Nekoma Viper at this moment, Kazan seemed to be completely in line with the man who saved Wano Country according to Kozuki Toki.
"Hahahaha! It's a little early to take action now. Why don't you go to my territory to have a look and then make a decision? I have already gathered a lot of subordinates."
There was something profound in Shiji's eyes. As a typical pirate, how could he give up so easily on something he set his sights on?
But as a future companion... I still have to give him some face. Of course it's better not to take action if he can.
"...OK."
Kazan thought for a moment, curled his lips, and nodded: "I'll bring a few little ones."
"Oh? Your companion? Of course, no problem. It's best to bring them all and go together."
Shiji was a little surprised to hear that Kazan was willing to go, but he still nodded happily.
"Lord Chitong!"
"Kazan!"
Inuarashi and Neko Viper were all panicked when they saw Kazan actually agreeing to go to Shiji's territory.
"It doesn't matter, just wait here, or you'll be back in two or three days."
Kazan waved his hand, turned around and walked into the room where the little ones slept.
After a while, several people followed Kazan out.
Funkray, Reiju, Sugar, Willump, Ramos, Kerra, Dibaru and Motobalo.
Except for Feng Clay, who acted as a means of transportation when he needed to come back, the others were the weaker brothers and sisters in the family.
Kazan plans to train some of the little guys with the help of the men Shiji summoned.
"Well, then we won't waste any more time, let's set off immediately."
Shiji glanced casually, showing no emotion, but said something to Kazan.
Kazan nodded, and then waited quietly to see what Shiji planned to do.
Shi Ji didn't do any ink. He raised one hand and a huge stone with a radius of about thirty meters suddenly broke away from the earth and floated into the air.
"Let's go up. As long as we don't encounter any bad weather, we should be able to get there today."
Shi Ji signaled and then jumped up first.
"Oh? Piaopiao fruit is greatly affected by the weather?"
"It does have a big impact, so an excellent navigator plays a very important role on the sea. But don't worry, I have recruited many excellent meteorological researchers on various islands in the past few years. By then, the weather will no longer be the same.
That’s what we need to worry about.”
Shiji doesn't mind exposing his shortcomings at all.
A strong man has the magnanimity of a strong man, and he has absolute confidence in himself.
Not only his own strength, but also the matter of Kazan joining his camp.
The little guys in the monster family haven't woken up yet. Except for Feng Clay, who guessed some things, the others climbed onto the big rock in confusion.
Those with short and bulky legs like Niu Niu had to be carried up by Feng Klei.
"Inuarashi, Neko Viper, please explain the situation to Monet and the others. We will definitely be back within three days."
"Lord Chitong, please take me with you."
"All the old dogs are gone, can my old cat be left behind?"
Inuarashi and Neko Viper looked at each other, but after all they couldn't let go and hoped to go with Kazan.
In their opinion, if the two of them join forces in the 'Moon Lion' state, even if they cannot defeat Shi Ji, they can at least help Kazan and his party leave at the critical moment.
They must protect Kazan, after all, Kazan is the hope of Wano.
Inuarashi and Neko Viper will not allow themselves to become the criminals of the Kozuki family.
If the other members of the Red Scabbard Nine learn that Kazan had an accident around them, they will definitely not forgive them.
"You guys... okay, then follow up."
Kazan originally planned to reject the two of them, but seeing their determined looks, he nodded.
It has no impact on him anyway.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Robin."
After Kazan shook his head, he shouted softly to the big tree next to him.
An arm grew out of thin air on the big tree and waved gently, saying goodbye to Kazan and his group.
"Okay, everything is all right now. You can set off. I can't wait for you to see my territory and research results. That is my secret weapon to destroy the world."
The more Shi Ji talked, the more he seemed to be crazy, and he looked like a mental patient.
Feng Clay stood aside and took a second look at Shi Ji. He had already made a guess at the first sight of Shi Ji, and after seeing Shi Ji's ability, he was even more certain of this person's identity.
The legendary great pirate and the first man to escape from Impeldown prison, the 'Golden Lion' Shiki.
Unlike Crocodile, this man was a monster who escaped from prison entirely by his own strength, and even cut off his own legs to do so.
Feng Clay had a headache. He felt that their monster family was gradually approaching the old era.
Whether it's Zefa a few days ago, Shiji now, or Kaido and Whitebeard who will face him in the future.
Shaking his head, Feng Clay decided to squint for a while longer.
No matter what he has to face, he will always support Kazan anyway.
The journey didn't take too long. Shiji's territory was unexpectedly close to Zou, and it was also in the sky above the New World.
"This is your territory? Not bad."
Kazan looked at the archipelago composed of floating islands floating in the sky at night, and there was indeed a spectacular beauty.
It was similar to the feeling the monster family had when they saw Sky Island for the first time after riding the soaring ocean current.
